+1! It has to be a pain in the ass some times to do the scoring. It's much appreciated.

Should definitely be 2 lowest, not 1 (unless of course someone just misses 1 event only). If people who miss 2 or more events (but less that 80%) get 2 free passes, so should the people who don't miss any events.

If you miss 2 events, those'll be averaged and included.
If you miss 1 event, it'll be averaged and included, as will your lowest score.
If you miss 0 events, your two lowest scores will be averaged up.

Side bar: The system isn't designed to leverage scores, it's designed to reduce attrition; due to discouragement resulting from extenuating circumstances, and the like.

But with the new 2 credit system, there is still time for more people to get on board...and not feel like their already behind.

Miz and Fedorlei can thank the judges in the Noons-Couture fight or Id'a won the event (with Cat right behind?)...but of coarse maybe they considered biased judging when they were making their picks...his last name is Couture after all.
